Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of linings of submerged arc furnaces, in particular to a lining structure of a submerged arc furnace. Background Art
[0002] Submerged arc furnaces utilize electric heating to smelt or heat materials. Their core function is to convert electrical energy into thermal energy. The Joule heat generated by the current in the charge melts the charge and initiates chemical reactions. The structure of a submerged arc furnace primarily consists of the furnace body, electrode system, and short-circuit system. The furnace body is the main component, consisting of the furnace shell, lining, and bottom. The electrode system is responsible for introducing electrical energy into the furnace and includes the electrode shell, electrode paste, and electrode holder. The short-circuit system transmits electrical energy from the transformer to the electrodes, minimizing energy losses.
[0003] However, the multi-layer design of the submerged arc furnace lining presents a significant challenge during installation. This design aims to enhance the lining's high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal insulation, but it also increases the complexity and time-consuming nature of the installation. The installation of a multi-layer lining requires strict adherence to the material, thickness, and placement requirements for each layer, requiring construction personnel to possess exceptional professional skills and extensive experience. Furthermore, meticulous interlayer treatment and joint sealing are essential to prevent thermal stress concentration, material spalling, or gas permeation. These steps not only increase the difficulty of installation but also significantly increase installation time.
[0004] Furthermore, the installation of the multi-layer furnace lining involves extensive material and equipment handling, assembly, and commissioning. Given the massive size and weight of the submerged arc furnace, as well as the potentially harsh environment at the installation site, these tasks undoubtedly further exacerbate the difficulty and time-consuming nature of the installation. Utility Model Content

[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown in the figure, this design proposes an optimization scheme for the lining structure of an electric arc furnace. The structure is mainly composed of key components such as a base 1, an outer furnace body 2, an inner furnace lining 3 (including an inner furnace body 31, an inner furnace bottom 32, an inner top cover 33, U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34 and a multi-layer annular lining layer 35), an inner furnace wall 4 and a high-temperature resistant isolation net 5.
[0027] The base 1 firmly supports the entire furnace structure, with its upper end supporting the outer furnace body 2 and inner furnace wall 4. Both the outer furnace body 2 and the inner furnace wall 4 are annular in design and arranged concentrically. This layout not only enhances structural stability but also optimizes heat transfer efficiency. Precision fasteners securely connect the two.
[0028] Of particular importance is the ingenious design of the inner furnace lining 3. Positioned between the outer furnace body 2 and the inner furnace wall 4, it provides crucial insulation and protection. The inner furnace body 31 rests snugly against the inner wall of the outer furnace body 2, its lower end naturally extending to the inner furnace floor 32, forming an integrated structure. At the upper opening of the inner furnace body 31 lies a unique inner cover 33. This T-shaped cover cleverly rests on the upper edge of the inner furnace body 31 and is further reinforced with fasteners, ensuring structural integrity.
[0029] To enhance the overall strength and durability of the inner furnace lining 3, multiple U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34 are installed at the lower end of the inner top cover 33. These U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34 are not only U-shaped but also distributed in a circular pattern around the bottom of the inner top cover 33, providing strong support for the entire furnace lining structure. Even more uniquely, multiple layers of annular lining 35 are cleverly embedded within the U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34. These layers, from the inside out, consist of an austenitic stainless steel furnace wall, an asbestos board layer, an aluminum silicate fiber felt layer, and a heat-resistant steel furnace wall. Each layer is carefully selected to maximize the thermal insulation and high-temperature resistance of the furnace lining.
[0030] The introduction of a high-temperature-resistant isolation mesh 5 is the icing on the cake. It also has a ring-shaped design and is cleverly inserted between the inner furnace body 31 and the inner furnace wall 4. Transverse rods on its side walls not only enhance the stability of the isolation mesh but also, by inserting into the inner furnace body 31 and the inner furnace wall 4, further strengthen the connection between the two.
[0031] Finally, the cavity of the inner furnace body 31 is also filled with high-temperature refractory particles. These particles not only improve the high-temperature resistance of the furnace body, but also effectively extend the service life of the furnace lining.
[0032] Through a series of careful designs and optimizations, the lining structure of the submerged arc furnace not only significantly improves the overall performance and durability of the furnace body, but also provides a solid guarantee for the efficient and stable operation of the submerged arc furnace.
[0033] Installation: Place base 1 firmly and steadily in the designated location, ensuring it remains stable and free of movement. Check base 1 for flatness and stability, adjusting or reinforcing as necessary. Lift outer furnace body 2 onto base 1, ensuring the interface with base 1 is smooth and seamless. Use precision fasteners to secure outer furnace body 2 to base 1, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
[0034] Install the inner furnace body 31: Place the inner furnace body 31 against the inner wall of the outer furnace body 2, ensuring that its lower end naturally extends to the inner furnace bottom 32, forming an integrated structure. Install the inner top cover 33 at the upper opening of the inner furnace body 31. This T-shaped top cover has its upper edge resting on the upper edge of the inner furnace body 31 and is further reinforced with fasteners to ensure a tight structure.
[0035] Installation of U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34 and multi-layer annular lining 35: Multiple U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34 are installed at the lower end of the inner top cover 33, distributed in a circular pattern to provide support. Subsequently, multi-layer annular lining 35 (composed of, in order, an austenitic stainless steel furnace wall, an asbestos board layer, an aluminum silicate fiber felt layer, and a heat-resistant steel furnace wall) is embedded within the U-shaped reinforcement ribs 34, ensuring each layer fits tightly to maximize thermal insulation and high-temperature resistance.
[0036] A high-temperature-resistant isolation mesh 5 is inserted in a circular pattern between the inner furnace body 31 and the inner furnace wall 4. Transverse rods on its sidewalls are inserted into the inner furnace body 31 and the inner furnace wall 4 to enhance the stability of the isolation mesh and strengthen the connection between the two. After the inner furnace lining 3 is installed, the inner furnace wall 4 is hoisted to the inside of the outer furnace body 2, tightly fitting it. Precision fasteners are used to securely fasten the inner furnace wall 4 to the outer furnace body 2, ensuring a tight and seamless connection.
[0037] The cavity of the inner furnace body 31 is filled with high-temperature refractory particles. These particles should be evenly distributed and fill the entire cavity to improve the furnace's high-temperature resistance and extend the life of the furnace lining. The entire installation process must be carried out strictly in accordance with design requirements, ensuring accuracy and stability at every step. After installation, a comprehensive inspection and testing is required to ensure that the overall performance and durability of the submerged arc furnace lining structure meet design requirements.
